I must admit, my first thought was: isn't that the parents' job? Then I read on and was reminded about loads of parents who are not as fortunate as I am to have flexible jobs.]

Somewhere in Sharepoint? Onedrive? Someone else's onedrive? In a teams channel? In a link in your email? In an attachment in your email? On a network drive? !!!! Give up. And of course don't want to embarrass yourself in front of the IT director by just asking.] I know how to Teams.

I feel so shit that my absolute effort is getting me around 12mm and I’m fucked. 12mm for you is essentially a pacey walk. I feel slow, inadequate, shit and a huge failure that despite loosing 16 stone I still can’t even remotely run at a good pace or keep up with you
